About this listen

The hole they dug was not deep. A white flour bag encased the little body. Three small faces watched from the window, eyes black with terror.

The child in the middle spoke without turning his head. "I wonder which one of us will be next?"

When a woman's body is discovered in a cathedral and hours later a young man is found hanging from a tree outside his home, Detective Lottie Parker is called in to lead the investigation. Both bodies have the same distinctive tattoo clumsily inscribed on their legs. It's clear the pair are connected, but how?

The trail leads Lottie to St Angela's, a former children's home, with a dark connection to her own family history. Suddenly the case just got personal.

As Lottie begins to link the current victims to unsolved murders decades old, two teenage boys go missing. She must close in on the killer before they strike again, but in doing so is she putting her own children in terrifying danger?

Lottie is about to come face to face with a twisted soul who has a very warped idea of justice.

Harrowing

The more the wickedness of some priests in the Catholic Church is revealed, the more the incredibility at their belief that they were above any law. This story centres on such abuses and seeps into Lotties's own life in several ways. The final twist was unexpectedly upsetting. Yet I couldn't stop until it was finished. Harrowing but compelling.

Very entertaining, albeit confusing...

An enjoyable writing style and great narration, good story but ultimate motives left me puzzled, which let it down at the end.

Slow burner

I struggled to emerge myself in this book to begin with but persevered and I am so glad that I did. What a moving and exciting thriller. Loved it.
